This was a really relaxing game! The start and ending cutscenes + poems were well written, and the music and sounds were very soothing. I loved the artstyle, and the whole thing being themed around ducks made me very happy :)
Thank you Duckman! I am glad you found the game relaxing. Atmosphere was a big focus point for me making the game. Thank you again for reviewing!

This blurred Duckling game is interestion.
It messed a little with my eyes but overall feel of the game is smooth and fun.
I think there are some small parts where the crocodile can touch you with out the pixels actually touch each other, but it is relatively small.
Thanks for making this game.
Sorry about that, the pixelated style can definitely get a little trippy. I see what you mean with the collisions, I may make the colliders smaller after the jam. Thank you for reviewing!
I'm truly moved. Screw the underwater crocodiles tho.
😅 Thank you! Yes, those crocodiles are not being very nice to the duckling.
The sfx were relaxing and glorious and I liked the idea of the The Ungly Duckling reversed. The poems at the start and end were also very well made and it was fun and both relaxing to play it.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun thinking about the poems. I usually don't add too many sound effects in my games, although I had an urge to make some this time and it was very enjoyable.
what a powerful story. The music was so soothing too
Thank you, I had a lot of fun coming up with rhymes for the little story sections 😀

Love the pixelated look, the sound design is great and the overall aesthetic is very calming
Thank you! I was inspired by some piano pieces I been listening to recently and decided to make a little orchestral version for the music. I'm glad you found it calming 😀
really cool art style!
Thank you! I have been playing around with 3D art styles lately and wanted to try this look out.
